Guatemala & Honduras hold a special little treasure called Cobana
guatemalensis. It's a member of the Iris Family and it's the sole
species of its genus and it only occurs in these two countries. Until
recently I've not been able to find photos of it online... but I checked again
& got lucky.
To me it is superficially similar to the Trigridia and Alophia species
that I've grown but the flower shape seems rather different. Comparing
it to photos online it actually looks quite similar to Eleutherine bulbosa
from Argentina. Anyway, I just wanted to share these pics & see if
anyone here has had the pleasure of encountering it in real
life.
Tropical amaryllids seem to grow well for me as houseplants, so I wonder
if tropical irids like this could, too.
